CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 351,555, dated October26, 1886.

(No model.)

5 new and useful Improvements in Churns, of

whichthe following is a specification, reference being' had therein tothe accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to churns of rotary Io character; and its object,more particularly, is

to provide a dasher-frame so constructed and arranged with the box thatit may readily be removed for. cleansing and other purposes, and

as readily replaced when desired for use, as I5 will be hereinafter moreparticularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, Figure1 represents a perspective View, with one side of the box removed, itstop raised, and other portions as Figs. 2 and 3 are detached sectionalviews of the mode of securing the frame in the box.

In the figures, A represents a churn body or box, which may bemadesquare or rectangular and mounted upon a frame, B B, between twostandards, as C. These standards, as is usual in this class of churns,have bearings upon thelr upper ends, in which trunnions upon the sidesof the box rest and play, as` 3o shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1 of thedrawings. A handle connected to one of the trunnions serves to give arotary motion to the box. The box A has a top, E, upon the under side ofwhich is secured a packing of rubber tubing, F, which, fitting upon theupperedges of the box, makes an air-tight joint. This top is y held inplace by the bails G H at each end.

I will noylr referto the invention tobe claimed. D represents thedasher-frame, which consists of four cross-bars, d dand d d', and theirconnecting dasher rods or blades e e and m m, as represen-ted, forming astationary breakingframe in the box, revolving with said box, but

not independent of it. At one side the ends of the bars d d are roundedor tapered, as shown, in order to enter the recesses a ain one side ofthe churn-body when the frame D is in position. To place the frameDinthechurnbox, the tapered ends of the bars d d', above mentioned, are rstinserted in the recesses a a at an angle to the side of the churn-box,as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, and the frame then swung down intoplace. When the frame D is iu its place in the box, the ends of thecross-bars d d and d d are intended to t snugly in the ends and bottomof said box. Upon one of thebars d is pivoted abntton, a. This button israised when the frame is to be removed, but is turned down so as to littightly against one side of the box when the frame is to be held inplace. By this construction and arrangement the frame can be removed ina moment or replaced as quickly, as the necessities ofthe case maydemand.

Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim as new, and desire Ato secure by Letters Patent, is-

In combination'with the churn body or box mounted upon a suitable frameto enable it to be revolved, the churningframe consisting of barscrossing at or near their lcenter and connected together by dasherblades and rods, the ends of the horizontal bars at one side beingtapered or rounded in order to enter recesses in the interior of thechurn-body, and one of the vertical bars having pivoted to it near itstop a locking-button adapted to bear against the inside of thechurn-body and securely hold the frame therein, substantially asspecified.

In testimony whereof I adix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
